Student Government Association:
Official Club Site
The SGA is composed of four officers plus advanced standing and freshman representatives. Its office is located on the first floor of Sharon Hall. One purpose of student participation in government is to train for the role of a citizen in the community. A sense of responsibility and concern on the part of each student with respect to every other student and with respect to the welfare of the student community is promoted through SGA participation.
Regular meetings of SGA are held in order to carry out the responsibilities of initiating all legislation concerning the welfare of the student body, supporting the functions and activities of the student body, vesting authority to student organizations, investigating any appeal made to it by any student concerning problems of general student welfare or well-being, assuming financial responsibility for SGA funds, and reviewing the financial records of all registered student organizations. SGA strives to create, maintain, and regulate beneficial customs and traditions at the Shenango campus.
Since the Student Government Association acts as a liaison among the students, faculty, and administration, it is important for all persons to acquaint themselves with the policies of SGA and how they affect the organizations to which they belong.
Council of Commonwealth Student Governments: The Shenango campus Student Government Association is a member of the Council of Commonwealth Student Governments, a University-wide body whose membership includes the SGAs of all the Penn State campuses.
